The word "legend" has been overused, but he is a real "legend".

- Arthur; Arsene Wenger [Arsenal manager] said.

Mercedes on the A52 is a red Ford Focus from 2001 with four men in it, three of them elated and only one babbling and complaining.

"Kenny, I have a question for you. Is your bar closed today? ”

Burns shrugged: "I'm the boss, not the bartender, and I don't have to stay there all the time." ”

Donn rolled his eyes, then turned his head to look at Walker, who was sitting next to Burns, "Why are you here too?" ”

Walker just smirked and didn't answer. He and Burns sat in the back seats, excited like star-chasers going to a celebrity concert.

Looking at the stupidity of these two people, Don En twisted back, looked at the monster in front of the car and shouted: "This is so unfair, the boss invited me and Bowyer, why do you two also have to follow?" ”

"Don't be so stingy, Tony. I think the boss would love to see us see him, too. ”

"That's right, it's more crowded."

Don didn't know what to say, so he sighed and said to Bowyer, who was driving, "Put on a song and listen to it." ”

Bowyer pressed the play button on the car stereo, but the music coming from inside startled Donn. It was really a "jump", and if it wasn't for the seatbelt, Donn's head would definitely hit the roof of the car.

Because what came out of the stereo was the shouts of a crowd of fans, just like he heard during the game.

"Is this music?"

The two people in the back row burst out laughing, and Don was so laughed that he couldn't speak. He found that there was an obvious "generation gap" between him and these three people, and the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding together, and they knew a lot of things that Don didn't know. For example, "Chief" and this "music".

The music finally started after the fans shouted, but after only the first verse, Donn was stunned again - this was the song he often heard on the pitch, Nottingham Forest's team song "We've'got'the'whole'world'in'our'hands".

"It's not the fans' ......," he asked, confused.

Bowyer shook his head: "What you hear now is what we sing ourselves. ”

"And me." Burns added later.

"It was recorded in the studio by all the Forest players at the time." Walker further explained to Donn, "It started with a TV show where they were invited to go -- I wasn't in the Forest at the time -- and they sang the song on the show, and then it was released on record. ”

"Sales aren't bad." Bowyer said proudly. Then he hummed the tune of the song, which grew louder and louder, and Burns and Walker joined the chorus.

The car drove past a street sign with the word "Derby" to the proud singing of the men.

Brian; Croft. This name is very unfamiliar to Donn, who has crossed over from China. But for the whole of English football, it is the most distinctive name. Even if he has long since retired, he still retains enough influence in this circle. He can casually blame the players and coaches he is not used to, and big names such as Sir Alex Ferguson dare not talk back when he scolds him. To use a movie line, it is - I am not in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes have my legends.

Since stepping into the football world, the name has appeared in people's eyes again and again with various miracles. As a player, he set the record for the fastest 200 goals in England, scoring 267 goals in 296 games for Middlesbrough and Sunderland, including 204 goals in 222 games at Middlesbrough and 63 goals in 74 games for Sunderland. This is a terrifying goalscoring efficiency even in modern times. However, his playing career was short, and at the age of 29 he retired due to injury and became a coach.

What really made him famous all over the world and became a generation of "football godfathers" is the position of head coach.

Derby County, who have just lost to Done, are currently 21st in the second tier of the English league and are in deep financial crisis. But don't look at them so depressed now, they used to be beautiful, and their most glorious years were called "Brian; Clough era", just listen to the name to know who was the head coach of that team at that time.

In 1965/67, Clough became the club's manager, and he spent two years leading a struggling derby in League Two (the current equivalent of League One) to League Two before winning the League One title in 71/72. The following season, his side reached the semi-finals of the European Cup, but they lost to Juventus, who were said to have bribed the referee.

He then left the club and moved to Nottingham Forest, creating a new 'Forest dynasty' that dominated English and European football. The Derby team won League One again in the 74/75 season thanks to the solid foundation laid by Clough's side, but they lost to Spanish giants Real Madrid in the Champions League the following year.

As for Clough's achievements since becoming Forest manager, there is no need to describe them further. Anyone who knows even a little bit about English football and European football in the late 70s and early 80s will know that the dominant colour was red at that time, when the two dominant teams in European football were red shirts, one was Liverpool and the other was Clough's Nottingham Forest.

If he is only remembered for his results, then Clough is no different from most managers. But in fact, he is the most special of all the managers in the history of English football, and his charisma can be compared to Bill, the greatest leader in Liverpool history; Billshankly is comparable.

Don agrees with this, just look at the performance of the three men around him. He felt that it was a lot like what he had experienced in school. A good homeroom teacher will keep his students in his mind long after graduation, and he will definitely be respectful when he mentions it. On the contrary, an incompetent homeroom teacher will only make the students curse and laugh at him later.

Clough is one of those very, very good homeroom teachers.

Just winning the best coach in February once made Don feel complacent for a long time. But in front of Clough, he was like an ant facing a high mountain, just a speck of dust under Clough's feet.

And today, he has to face the most famous coach in the history of English football. Looking out the window at the gradually lively street scene, he suddenly felt an extraordinary feeling in his heart: I was not going to have afternoon tea with an old man who had retired from his coaching position, but to make a pilgrimage to meet an emperor who founded the forest dynasty.

After retiring, Lao Shuai's home is no longer in the downtown area of Derby, and he bought a small farm-like estate on the northwest outskirts of Derby. Lonely outside the city, only a narrow and difficult forest path connects to the bustling world.

Cars bump the form on this road. He almost made Donn motion sick, he didn't expect such a great manager to live in such a place, look at the dirt road under the wheels, it is estimated that when it rains, it is even more muddy and difficult to walk.

"Here we are." Bowyer said suddenly, and Don noticed a red brick building peeking out of the low woods in front of him, not unlike anything he had seen anywhere in the country. The place was so unremarkable that Don was a little disappointed.

As soon as I got out of the car, I heard a dog barking. Then he saw a golden shepherd dog rush out of the yard and pounce directly on him.

"Wow!" Don covered his face with his hand and shouted. He's really scared of dogs......

But the shepherd dog just put its front paws on his shoulder, then stuck out its tongue and snorted to lick his face.

The three people next to them laughed when they saw Don's embarrassed appearance. "Hey! Tony, it just wants to make out with you. Walker laughed.

At this moment, an old but somewhat high-pitched voice came from the courtyard.

"Looks like Sam likes you, kid."

Hearing this, except for Don, who was being "affectionate" by the dog, the other three people stopped laughing and stood respectfully in place.

An old man walked out of the courtyard slowly, looked at the three people standing next to the car, and muttered, "What the hell...... I only prepared two sets of tea for the guests. Walker, what brand of juice do you like? ”

Hearing this, Walker was dumbfounded: "Boss, I'm an adult......"

The two people next to him lowered their heads and tried their best to hold back the laughter, and finally ran out of their mouths.

The old man ignored Walker's appeal and turned his head to look at Burns. "After all these years, you haven't gotten any better, Kenny."

Burns smiled awkwardly: "Boss, you know...... I'm not a fan of cosmetic surgery. "When Burns was a player, he was publicly announced by his own head coach that Kenny; Burns is the ugliest player he's ever signed.

Hearing this answer, the old man smiled. Then he looked at Donn, who was still "making out" with the dog, and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to like Sam so much." He whistled, and the big dog immediately let go of poor Don and ran back to his master.

Tang En laboriously wiped the saliva from his face, and only then did he see the old man standing in front of him clearly.

His face was haggard, his eyes were swollen, and his eyelids were always drooping, as if he hadn't woken up. This is the legendary coach Brian who shocked European football back then; Clough? Don felt that the reality was really far from his dream......

"Are you disappointed?" Clough's words startled Donn. The old man guessed right.

"Oh, are you going to re-evaluate me now?" Clough continued,

Don shrugged: "It's the work of the personnel department to evaluate others......" Facing this sharp-eyed old man, he felt for the first time that he didn't know what to say. It seems that his hunch was correct on the way here.

"Wrong, boy. What do you think a head coach does? ”

"Lead the team to victory......"

"That's just part of the job." Clough beckoned, "Come in, I think the cookies should be baked, let's talk over tea." I loved the play you played at half-time in the FA Cup. ”

Bowyer deliberately dragged himself to the back, and when Don came up, he whispered to him, "The boss likes you very much, but his surname is like this, so don't take it personally." ”

Donn nodded, "I like this kind of surname. ”

Bowyer smiled: "We like it too.
